Yes. And having to use CC all the time on the tv, and saying things like "I can't hear you because the water is running" or not being able to see a person's face, etc., etc.
Mr. mossy is going to head in for an appointment once I get myself sorted out. He likely needs aids, too. Because the aforementioned is commonplace in our house and not just with me.
The only thing - Dr Red Duke had a West Texas drawl, and a BIG DROOPY MUSTACHE that covered his mouth, so a lot of the seniors, and the deaf, complained they couldn't read his lips.

Were you guys saying something?
In all seriousness one way I can tell if someone has a hearing problem or uses it as an excuse is how much they say "What?" or the equivalent requiring someone to repeat themselves.
I use it rather frequently myself.

Went totally deaf back in kindergarten, had surgery but have always had problems with my left ear which got worse for various reasons over the years

I've had hearing aids since I was four. Don't know what the effect of not having aids for four years was.

Praying for you - my Dad was STONE deaf, and was constantly trying to get hearing aids that worked.
Have you had your hearing tested? What do you think about getting routine hearing tests throughout life? I know there may be a cost issue with getting tested. Alberta Health Care covers the test for seniors, not sure if it covers once a year. So there is nothing for me to pay out of pocket, aside from high taxes. The hearing aids are not covered, except for a portion through an Alberta program called Aids for Living which is allotted to seniors.
I think hearing aids have changed a great deal since our parents' time. I don't believe I will be getting a Victrola trumpet for each ear.
